According to Cotus my car has a premier trim with color accent group and color accent seats ! and there is a picture !! Black and RED seats !!
Guess (hope so) it's a small mistake as not available overhere...
Papinist, how are your seats ?

Got a EURO 'chassis number' and by adding the magic '1FA6P8' to it to obtain 17 digits valid VIN number I found my ingot premium pack Ecoboost on the FORD COTUS system using the 'anonymous' link posted by Papinist in an earlier thread!!
A new step closer to the car...

I'm glad it works for you! My dealer made a mess with copy&paste when sending my VIN, so I had to create it myself.. chassis number is correct, I hope that all the info I got from COTUS are valid

Chit chat I had with Jeff from US FOrd customer service :

-----------------
Hi Jeff,

I got a chassis number from my store and with info I found on the forum the VIN should look like this :

1FA6P8 TH9F54xxxxxx (last 11 digitis I received from the store as being the chassisnumber- first 6 digits I found on the forum pages)

Through Cotus I found a car, guess mine as it was a Ingot ecoboost with (Euro premium pack). Strange thing is it was only reported to be ordered on april 27 while I ordered on jan 22.
My store told me the production date is 6/1 (or that week). Cotus does not mention a production date...They refer to order Axxx. Can you find out if this is indeed a car going to Europe (Belgium) So I'm sure I'm lookng at the right one...
Can you also confirm 6/1 as production date and any other info you might find. Strange the EU Ford VISTA system has this info while Cotus doesn't...

Thx for feedback
A loyal mustang driver

Yay! I was able to find it. :clap2: :clap2: Your Mustang is scheduled to the week of June 1st. I don't have an exact date yet though. I can say for sure that it's going to Europe, although our tracking ends when it leaves the country, so I don't have any dealer/country information. Glad you were able to find it though!

Jeff
-----------------------

Right to conclude a production date is not appearing in COTUs but is appearing in the EU VISTA system. In what system did you find 06/01, your internal one I guess.

Thx for confirming it's a Euro one, guess it's mine !:first:I
-----------------------
can't say why it wouldn't be in COTUS for sure, but that is a U.S. tracking system. I didn't even think you could see a Euro car in there, to be honest. I use an internal system, yes. I don't use COTUS or VISTA at all, nor do we promote them for use. So, I'm not too certain of the technical issues.

Mine don't show any images, exterior or interior.. but it says Premium Ecoboost and Race Red, so it seems to be mine
Nice try the chat with ford customer service!
I had only the last 6 or so digits correct from my dealer :-/

Hello,
here is mine which has already been produced:cheers:
waiting for the crossing of the Atlantic
(Papinist thank you for the link )

It's really strange that I already have a delivery date but no images and/or build date

@UNtamed67: how do you manage to contact Ford US Customer service?

I do not know why but our orders are similar in Cotus - i also have deliver date but no images ;)

Mine will be produce on May 25th: as soon as production starts my dealer will let me know the VIN number...

EU Mustangs have almost all the features of the US Premium Models. It has nothing to do with the additional premium package that we can purchase.

According to different delivery dates it seems that a cargo will cross the ocean every week.

 

[garbancillo]

I have just logged to COTUS, but today, it does not appear the "Estimated Delivery" date line, nor the days reaming to reach it at the end of the bar showing the progress. These have just dissapeared from the screen!!!:frusty:

 

[papinist]

Don't worry, if I remember correctly COTUS is updated every thursday.. probably it is updating just now

Do you also mean the real stitching on the dashboard on the non premium packs? As mine will be build next week I couldn't change anything anymore and was bothered to find out about the faux stitching.

Update: does anybody knows where I can find the GT black wheels? I'm looking to change or trade them with the black EB wheels.

I got my grills and backpanel from these guys (€ 150,- freight cost to Belgium - 2 light weight boxes) guess these wheels will be much more expensive in freight...
Might organise a group purchase as I'm considering the 18" wheels for winter. Price difference in winter tyres for this size (and guess better grip) will cover part of the cost...
